Calvin Klein Underwear Showing Over the Top of Jeans Is Trendy Again

March 18, 2014 • by Erika

Are our calendars wrong or are the ’90s really back? We’re asking because it seems like flashing your Calvin Klein underwear over the top of your jeans a la Marky Mark is a hot fashion trend once again, and the who’s who among celebrities are jumping on it left and right.

We could say that Kendall Jenner is the no. 1 promoter of this pants-down trend. She temporarily shut down the entire Instagram website when she posted a half-naked photo of herself in matching Calvin Klein sports bra and underwear showing over the waistband of very low-slung jeans.

“Morning! just going to hang out in #MyCalvins alllll day! … thank you @calvinklein for my little gifts,” Kendall captioned her photo. It then proceeded to receive nearly a million likes.

After Kendall’s Instagram snap went viral, we couldn’t help but see Calvin Klein underwear waistbands everywhere. We spotted it next on another young Hollywood hottie, Vanessa Hudgens. The paparazzi were the ones who caught Vanessa giving a peek of her CK underwear over oddly bunchy denim shorts, but Nessa did flaunt them herself on Instagram later on.

Did this sudden surge in skivvies-showing catch you by surprise? Don’t worry, it’s not a fluke in the fashion cycle; it’s a social media advertisement campaign. Calvin Klein has asked people to post semi-nude pictures of themselves in CK underwear, and in return, they get free CK gear. Those who have responded so far include bloggers, models, and other celebrities like Iggy Azalea, Miranda Kerr, and Poppy Delevingne.

Okay, so it may be just a marketing ploy, but how it’s fast gaining popularity just might make the ’90s CK-underwear-flashing fad a true-blue 2014 fashion trend. Are you up for it? If you are, better ready your low-waist jeans!
